Samples prepared to show the appearance of the surface after passivation revealed a<br />

cracked structure similar to that found after the chromate filming of aluminium alloys.<br />

Delta-tone/Delta-seal coatings<br />

The optical micrograph in figure B2 shows a microsection prepared from a sample<br />

coated with Delta-tone. The microstructure is seen to consist of a matrix containing<br />

flakes of zinc typically 3-4μm thick and up to 30μm long.<br />

B.3.1.2<br />

Composition<br />

The main constituents of the unpassivated coatings are given in table B1 below. For the<br />

alloy coatings, it was found that the zinc-nickel alloy contained 10 wt-% nickel whereas<br />

the zinc-cobalt-iron alloy contained 0.8 wt-% cobalt and a trace of iron (
